for the secondary pumps, if the pumps are 7.5 HP and larger.
For smaller secondary pumps, the capacity reduction of the
chillers shall be affected without the use of the variable
speed drives for the secondary pumps.

a. Load Reduction: For the peak demand shaving, consideration
shall be given to unloading the chillers through the ECC
software. Cooling system(s) serving bedroom units shall not be
included in peak demand shaving schedule.
b. Chilled Water Reset: The chilled water leaving temperature can
be changed in response to the outdoor temperature on a reset
schedule and this control can be used with or without the flow
control for the chiller operation.
5.3 DIRECT EXPANSION SYSTEMS
Depending upon the configuration of the building, and available
space, the following arrangements shall be evaluated:
A. ROOF TOP UNITS: Penthouse type of fully weatherized roof top package
units in modular sections and complete with air and refrigeration
systems.
B. REMOTE UNITS: Conventional horizontal, or vertical, draw-thru indoor,
DX air handling units with remote, air cooled, or water cooled,
condensing units.
